A German study on growing rightwing extremist views in the country finds a comparable rise in antisemitic views, including 16.5% of the population who accuse Jewish people of wanting to “take advantage” of the Nazi past, the Guardian reports.
The biannual study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation found that 8% of the population had a distinctly right-wing extremist view of the world.
The study finds that that those who want a single-party and authoritarian-led state (the word used in the study was führer), rose from 2% to 4% in 2014-2021, to 6% now.
